Restricting Unit Management
Management access to the unit can be easily secured by making management stations or hosts and the unit itself
members of a common VLAN. Simply configure a non-zero management VLAN ID: management of the unit will be
restricted to members of the same VLAN.
CAUTION: If a non-zero management VLAN ID is configured, management access to the unit is restricted to hosts that
are members of the same VLAN. Ensure your management platform or host is a member of the same VLAN
before attempting to manage the unit or you will lose access to the unit.
Providing Access to Hosts in the Same VLAN
The VLAN feature lets hosts manage the unit. If the Management VLAN ID matches a VLAN User ID, those hosts who
are members of that VLAN will have management access to the unit.
CAUTION: Once a VLAN Management ID is configured and is equivalent to one of the VLAN User IDs, all members of
that VLAN will have management access to the unit. Be careful to restrict VLAN membership to those with
legitimate access to the unit.
